Florida Department of Law Enforcement's (FDLE) Drone Replacement Grant Program Available for a Limited Time
LAS VEGAS, NV / ACCESSWIRE / May 9, 2024 / Cytta Corp(OTCQB:CYCA), a leading provider of CyttaCOMMS advanced drone streaming and incident command solutions, today announced a pivotal initiative aimed at aiding Florida Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) in transitioning their drone fleets to American made drones certified under the Defense Department's Blue UAS program.
To date over 127 law enforcement agencies across the State of Florida have reached out directly to Cytta regarding their drone programs and implementing CyttaCOMMS secure drone streaming solution for their new drone fleets. CyttaCOMMS 3.0 is currently the only available drone streaming solution for all drone brands and types with a single annual subscription for the entire drone fleet.
This effort is in response to the imminent expiration of the Florida Drone Grant Program, set for June 30, 2024, and the substantial regulatory changes imposed by the State of Florida.
Over the last 18 months, Florida has implemented significant regulatory changes that redefine the operational requirements for drones used in public safety. These changes, dictated by Rule 60GG-2.0075, outline permissible drone types, technologies, and countries of manufacture, drastically altering the landscape for public safety officials who previously operated without such restrictions.
Gary Campbell, CEO of Cytta Corp, emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating, "As the deadline approaches, it's crucial for all law enforcement agencies in Florida to understand the importance of this transition. Cytta Corp is fully committed to supporting these agencies with both financial application guidance and advanced compliant technology solutions to ensure they continue their vital roles without interruption."
With the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's (FDLE) Drone Replacement Grant Program soon coming to an end, Cytta Corp is stepping up to ensure that all LEAs can transition smoothly and efficiently.
The FDLE program, which was fortified with approximately $25 million in nonrecurring funds from the 2023 Legislative Session, offers financial assistance to agencies replacing non-compliant Chinese drones with American manufactured drones on the Blue UAS, reimbursing them for up to 100% of the purchase price based on specific criteria.
Cytta Corp's Commitment:
To support this transition, Cytta Corp is offering its CyttaCOMMS 3.0 software, a cutting-edge drone streaming solution compatible with all drone brands. This technology allows for a seamless and secure streaming experience across various drone systems, providing a single annual subscription that covers an entire agency's fleet.
